I’m sorry in advance that this is going to sound ignorant but I know nothing about xenforo and I’m desperate.
I’m part of a group that had a xenforo hosted website - TabbyTales.net. It’s a collaborative writing community of 100 people that has existed for about three years now. Thousands of man hours and millions of words have gone into this site, I personally had around 400 pages worth of character interactions written on it.
Well yesterday, the owner of the site went AWOL. There’s an established policy of transferring ownership whenever someone wants to step down, and this person was our third owner. Instead of transferring, she abruptly deleted the discords and announced that she wouldn’t be renewing the license, meaning the last day the site will be up is the 4th.
She took it down and said she was going to try and bring it back up in a read-only mode so people could archive all their hard work, but it’s been 24 hours since and the site is still down. She’s not too experienced with Xenforo so we as a community are worried that she broke it in an attempt to bring it back up and just gave up (she has cut all contact, so we have no idea).
All that to say, is there ANY way for the site to he archived? Or for the ownership to he transferred on the backend? Or even to bring it back up in read-only mode? We have no way to contact the owner and we’re all very worried. Archive.org has very little of it. I know this is a massive longshot but any help or feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.
